The punching machine is an essential part of the sheet metal fabrication process. It can be large or small and often has various attachments that allow it to perform different tasks. The following OEM punching machines types are popular in the market.
Mechanical punching machine
The mechanical punching machine is also called a flywheel press. It uses a flywheel to create force, which is transferred through a clutch and a ram to punch the metal. This is a non-hydraulic punch machine that works well for thicker materials. It requires less force because of the mechanical advantage gained through lever action.
Hydraulic punching machine
Hydraulic punching machines use hydraulic systems to create and control the force to punch metal. It has a punch, die, and hydraulic cylinder. The punch moves down into the sheet metal through the hydraulic cylinder. The die takes out the desired shape. This process is reversible, and the sheet metal returns to its original position. Hydraulic punching machines can handle thick materials. They are also more versatile and offer greater control compared to mechanical punches.
OAP punching machine
Also known as the orbital angular punching machine, this device externally rotates a punch around a flat die to remove material from the parts of the metal. It then returns the piece to its original position. This machine has a lower operational cost compared to mechanical punching machines. It doesn't have a high operating force requirement. It is energy efficient, and while it produces a lesser tonnage than mechanical punches, it can perform more jobs quickly.
Custom punching machines
These are specialized with certain attachments to carry out specific tasks. Many OEMs create custom punching machines for unique requirements. Some add-ons are shears, laser cutting capabilities, and press brakes.
Working capacity
The maximum size and thickness of the metal that the punching machine can punch. For instance, a 100-ton punching machine has the tensile strength and thickness capacity to work with stronger metals.
Maximum stroke
This indicates how deep the ram of the punching machine can go. It is an important factor when deciding the kind of punch and dies to get for a certain OEM punching machine. A 100-ton punching machine will have a 4–6 inch maximum stroke or depth.
Bed and throat depth
This is the distance from the front face of the machine to the centerline of the ram. It is an important measurement when considering how easy an OEM punching machine will load materials for processing. A standard measurement is about 12 inches.
Speed
The speed of an OEM Punching machine can vary based on the type, size, and function of the machine. On average, machines with motors between 10 to 15 HP can achieve 45 strokes per minute.
Power and weight
This refers to the electric capacity and the weight of the machine, which are determined by the parts of the machine. A 100-ton punching machine weighs about 15,000 kg and uses about 75 kVA of electricity.
Some important maintenance and care tips for OEM punching machines help businesses and operators get the best performance and lifespan from the machines.
OEM punching machines are used in various industries and applications, highlighting their versatility and importance in multiple manufacturing processes.
Production needs and scale analysis
When choosing for business purposes, buyers first need to identify their production needs and scale. Consider the types of products that need to be punched, the material requirements, the precision and quality needs, and the desired production efficiency and frequency. This helps buyers find a punching machine that suits their specific production needs.
Focus on durability and stability
Durability and stability are also important considerations for business use. Buyers need to select machines that are manufactured with robust materials to ensure their long-term use. Additionally, buyers should choose punching machines with good stability to reduce the risk of mechanical failure and maintain stable operation during high-intensity use.
Flexibility and scalability
For business use, it is also important to consider the flexibility and scalability of the punching machine. Buyers should choose machines that offer adjustable punching sizes and methods, allowing them to adapt to different product requirements. Additionally, scalability in terms of machine interfaces and integration capabilities is essential, as it allows for future upgrades and expansions to meet evolving business needs.
Operator safety and comfort
Occupational safety and comfort of operators are critical considerations when selecting a punching machine for business use. Buyers should choose machines that are equipped with adequate safety guards and devices to protect operators from accidental injuries. Furthermore, features that enhance operator comfort, such as ergonomic designs and user-friendly controls, can boost work efficiency and reduce fatigue during prolonged use.
Q1: What materials can a punching machine punch?
A1: It depends on the type of punching machine and its specifications. Generally, punching machines are used to punch various metals like aluminum, copper, stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel. Some punching machines can also be used to punch non-metal materials like plastics, boards, and rubbers.
Q2: What is the difference between a punching machine and a punching machine?
A2: The punching machine OEM refers to the equipment that punches holes or creates shapes in materials. The printing machine is an industrial machinery used to operate the printing press. It may change or modify the print run factory's product regarding paper products.
Q3: Can buyers get custom punching machines?
A3: Yes. Some manufacturers may offer customization options for buyers to get a punching machine that meets their specific requirements, including desired features, specifications, and design.
